Testimonials

“The Mentor Leadership Program is, in my opinion, an essential opportunity to make sure that you start your new phase as a civilian with advantages and insight that too many veterans are never afforded. Don’t pass the opportunity up.”

Barron Mills, Major, USMC (Ret)Mentor Leadership Class III Protégé

"Camaraderie Foundation provided the help the VA could not. I’m very happy and my mental health has improved quite a bit. Thank you!”

Sady G

"I called you a couple of years ago, and you hooked me up with Dr. Hernandez. The Camaraderie Foundation, Inc. saved my life by getting me to the therapist I needed, for ART, (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). You answered my 9-Line, and I'm alive to say Thank You."

David D

“Thank you, Camaraderie, for bringing people together with same or similar problems. It brings this community together. Having a day to spend with family without an argument or misunderstanding is great for the families you support.”

William VUS Army Veteran

“I was able to use the services provided by the Camaraderie Foundation (counseling) and I’m a whole new person because of you guys. I suffered from PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. Now, I’m on my way to becoming a small business owner :)”

Michelle B US Air Force Veteran

“I am very grateful for the sensitivity your staff showed initially. You displayed an understanding that I’ve found to be unusual. You helped us and ultimately our marriage was saved as a result.”

Basil H US Army Veteran

“I would just like to say thank you for helping us find the therapist. I would highly recommend her to other Vets, she does outstanding work. Along with what you guys do to help Veterans……thank you, thank you, appreciate everything.”

Former ClientNavy Veteran

“I am so grateful to the Camaraderie Foundation for providing this opportunity for healing to the veterans. I see how significantly their lives have been affected by the service they provided for all of us and have the utmost respect for this sacrifice. Please let me know if I can be of service in the future.”

Patti Hall, LMHC,CAC,CSAT New Leaf Center

“Just letting you know that counseling is going great and I couldn’t have done it without this organization’s help, so I am saying thank you and continue to bless other service members/families & help diminish the war on PTSD.”

Current ClientUS Air Force

“I just wanted to share something really sweet that my son shared with me, after his first counseling session: My son and I were walking out of the office and the first thing he said was, “that wasn’t so bad” and on the ride home he said, “that man was really nice”, and of course he was smiling the entire time. Thought you all would enjoy a compliment from an 8 year old kid. Thanks for all that you all do! “

Sheri B,Spouse, US Army Veteran

“The Camaraderie Foundation provides a gift to families that we will be eternally grateful for. Without the Foundation and those that donate our story would’ve been cut short. We never would have been able to afford the counseling we received without the assistance of the foundation. It is a gift that can never be repaid and enough gratitude can never be shown. We are truly blessed to have had the privilege to benefit from such an amazing foundation …”

Jereme and Vanessa T. US Army Veteran
